Trick or Treat: Why I’m Uneasy with Halloween

October 29, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 5 Comments

I am uneasy with Halloween. I don’t mind the dressing up per-say but it’s the trick or treating which I am the most uneasy with. You see, when I was growing up, my parents would never let me go trick or treating and, at the time, I was gutted. Why couldn’t I go and get … [Read more…]

It’s half term where I live and while teachers may be breathing a sigh of relief, parents everywhere are on the verge of tearing their hair out.

Strange things lurking under couch

October 12, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

So today I had my weekly under the couch purge. It is always an eye opener. In the old house we had laminate floor and I naively thought carpet at the farm would solve the under-the-couch magnetism. I was wrong. I have no idea how things get there. I never see them going under but … [Read more…]

Why I still love Bridget Jones and critics should wait until they’ve actually read the book

October 1, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

I read a Twitter comment the other day which really annoyed me: “I hated Bridget Jones and found her desperately unfunny first time around. Never identified with her at all.” Urgh! How gruesome. This is exactly the sort of comment Bridget herself would refer to as coming from a “smug married”. It’s not just about … [Read more…]

Funny parenting facts #3 sing-along-mummy

August 21, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Before having children, I would never sing in public. Maybe you would have caught me on the karaoke after a couple of vodkas but even that was rare. With children, though, sometimes only singing will do. For instance, pushing the trolly around the supermarket can sometimes get boring. You know you only have an allotted … [Read more…]
